Activist indicted for Amona incitement

A right-wing activist from Mevaseret Zion was indicted in the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court on Monday for allegedly using a WhatsApp group to incite to violence against security forces who would try to evacuate Amona. WhatsApp is an application used for voice, text and video messages.

Due to free speech issues involving the indictment filed by the Jerusalem District Attorney’s Office, Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit personally approved the indictment against 25-year-old David Oved.
